itch comments : A Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis ROM (bin file) containing 10 music tracks composed for the Mega Drive soundchips (YM2612 + SN76489). Playable on real hardware (Model 1 and 2) if using a Mega Everdrive PRO flashcart with a micro SD card containing the bin(s)., Two versions of the rom can be downloaded:, Original Size (around 5mb): Sounds the best and this is the version I used when recording the songs you can listen to for free on Spotify and other streaming platforms (as well as on my Youtube channel)., Optimized Size (just above 3.6mb): The DAC samples have been downsampled to reduce the size of the rom below 4 mb if you use another type of flashcart that doesn't support bigger files, or for some other reason can't open a rom bigger than 4mb on your console (might be the case if a 32x and/or Mega CD is connected or on some versions of a Model 3 Genesis.) DAC samples (vocals and some drums) sound a bit more muffled., As written above, all songs can be listened to for free on Spotify and other streaming platforms as well as my Youtube channel (but all ten tracks has not been published yet at the time of uploading these roms)., Tested and confirmed on my own Sega Mega Drive model 1 (PAL VA6.8) with a Mega Everdrive PRO. Also tested and confirmed playable on a Mega SG., May or may not work in emulators. DAC samples might be de-tuned in some emulators making vocal samples sound out of tune with the FM instruments.
